Chapter 172 Waste Heat

The huge turmoil caused by the Dalian Exchange has reduced a lot of external pressure with the help of N20 high-energy materials.

The Mining Association and the three mining giants took the opportunity to free up their hands and strike hard at home, starting with the rare earth industry.

Overnight, the companies and gangs that illegally mined and smuggled rare earths suffered a huge blow.

This incident caused the price of international rare earth raw ores to skyrocket, but the price of refined rare earth elements did the opposite, with the price falling by nearly 30%.

The price of rare earth raw ore rises, while the price of refined rare earth elements falls. The consequence is that those companies that refine rare earth are crying for their parents.

Faced with the continuous impact of the three mining giants, the large Western capital consortiums are also somewhat overwhelmed and tend to focus on one thing at the expense of the other.

The potash industry has lost half of the country, iron ore is losing ground, bauxite is in danger, and now even rare earths are facing catastrophe.

Huang Xiuyuan, who has been busy in Dezhou, Shandong Province for more than half a month, has recently increased the number of security personnel around him several times.

The various laboratories, key researchers, and management of the Suiren Department are all equipped with a large number of security personnel.

In fact, after the Dalian Exchange was established, Huang Xiuyuan ordered Huang Weichang to make preparations and gradually strengthen security work.

Suiren Company has developed to this stage and has become an important force affecting the balance of the world. This is something that many people did not expect. It was precisely because they did not expect that they were caught off guard.

As for the capital consortium that reacted, they absolutely wanted Huang Xiuyuan to explode immediately. If given the chance, they would definitely kill him.

Huang Xiuyuan, who had experienced the new Cold War era and finally died in an assassination, would not make the same mistake again. He even asked Huang Weichang to prepare a stand-in and appear from time to time in Shanmei, Rongcheng, Quancheng, and Dezhou, so that those with ulterior motives could not Lock down his true location.

The evil of human nature has never been lowered.

Qin Lizhang also arranged for many people to secretly assist Huang Weichang. The higher-ups also knew the importance of Suiren Company, which was related to its rise and future.

…

Texas Milk Company.

Chen Huaizhi, vice president of Dongfeng Motor, was sent to Texas again less than a month after returning to the headquarters from Chengdu.

When he came to Texas, he took the engineer and went directly to the milk company.

In the backup warehouse of the dairy company, there are three Dongfeng mini trucks manufactured by their company, which are mini trucks with gas engines.

Du Jinhua, the vice president of Snail Industry, was also there. The two had known each other before in Chengdu. Suiren needed a lot of vehicles and engineering equipment, so it was inevitable to cooperate with Dongfeng Motor.

"Mr. Du, happy New Year."

"Mr. Chen, long time no see. Happy New Year."

Chen Huaizhi chatted with Du Jinhua for a while, and then asked about the renovation project this time: "Mr. Du, what should be improved this time?"

"This time the project is to install a waste heat power generation system and an electric motor system on the engine and exhaust pipe." Du Jinhua gave an overview.

"Waste heat recovery? Electric motor? Does your company still have this kind of technology?" Chen Huaizhi is in charge of technology and has learned about many cutting-edge technologies in the international automobile industry. Among them, automobile waste heat recovery and utilization are indeed being studied by many manufacturers.

In the car's engine system, about 30% of the energy generated by fuel is taken away by the cooling system, and about 40% is taken away by the car's exhaust gas. In addition, 5% is lost by mechanical friction. The energy that is actually used for power and work is only Only about 25%.

Waste heat utilization usually uses a thermoelectric power generation system. The thermoelectric power generation system announced by Volkswagen last year can output 600 watts of power under highway conditions, which can meet 30% of the power consumption of automobile electrical equipment.

Du Jinhua smiled: "It's a project of Mr. Huang."

"Mr. Huang? Your big boss?"

"Yes."

Chen Huaizhi had a strange expression on his face: "Your big boss won't have invented any new black technology, right?"

"Hahaha." Du Jinhua couldn't help but laugh, and then nodded: "It is indeed quite a black technology, you will know later."

"Then I'll wait and see." Chen Huaizhi became a little excited. For a technical man, their romance is all kinds of technology and steel machinery.

Snail worked with Dongfeng engineers to dismantle a small truck.

Several Dongfeng engineers who got the design drawings hesitated a little. One of the experienced engineers asked: "Mr. Du, are you sure your thermoelectric power generation module is at the outlet of the three-way catalytic converter?"

Du Jinhua knew their concerns and explained: "Don't worry, our high-temperature resistant coating can withstand 1,300 degrees Celsius."

"That's good."

Because the general temperature difference power generation system can only withstand a maximum temperature of 750 degrees Celsius, and the temperature of automobile exhaust at the outlet of the three-way catalytic converter often exceeds 800 degrees Celsius.

Separate the three-way catalytic converter from the exhaust pipe, then put the thermoelectric power generation module on the exhaust pipe, then put on the circulation cooling module and external circuit, and finally install the battery system and management system.

"Check again." Chen Huaizhi ordered.

After checking it again and finding that nothing was missing, Chen Huaizhi ordered the test to begin.

As the engine injects methane, the car exhaust continues to spray out. After the methane is burned, there are only carbon dioxide and water, as well as a small amount of residual methane from incomplete combustion. These high-temperature gases pass through the outlet of the three-way catalytic converter and then pass through the thermoelectric power generation module.

"My dear? 2400 watts?"

"so tall?"

Chen Huaizhi glanced at the laptop computer, which was connected to the electronic control system of the thermoelectric power generation system. The data fluctuated between 2300 and 2400 watts.

His expression was dumbfounded. Although he had guessed that Suiren Company's technology was awesome, he did not expect that this technology was about to reach the sky.

Chen Huaizhi joked: "Your Mr. Huang's head doesn't belong to an alien, right?"

"What, it's awesome!" Du Jinhua said proudly.

Chen Huaizhi, who immediately gave a thumbs up, said with a slightly exaggerated expression: "This is not great, then no one would dare to say that their skills are great. If I were a Volkswagen engineer, I would faint in the toilet from crying."

"If this is a hybrid, how much fuel do you think it can save?"

Chen Huaizhi touched his chin, compared the current thermoelectric power generation systems of various automobile manufacturers, and finally said a shocking figure: "A conservative estimate of 30%. If optimized well, and the engine cooling system also uses thermoelectric power generation, It saves about 60% of fuel, so it’s not a big problem.”

"Mr. Chen's insight is very clear, which is not much different from our company's assessment." Du Jinhua nodded.

Looking at the continuously running thermoelectric power generation system, Chen Huai's eyes were straightened, and his eyes were brighter than when he saw a beautiful woman.

Saving fuel by 30 to 60%. For an automobile company, this technology allows them to take off in place.

If you are a car company selling luxury cars or sports cars, you may not need to pay too much attention. After all, wealthy consumers are not short of money.

As for car companies like Dongfeng Motor, their products are trucks, transporters, sweepers, vans, etc. Consumers who buy such products are often very concerned about fuel consumption.

Saving 30 to 60% of fuel and gas is equivalent to reducing gas costs by 30 to 60%. No wonder Chen Huaizhi's eyes lit up. This is a huge opportunity.

The more he watched, the less calm he became. He secretly made up his mind to contact the headquarters immediately and cooperate with Suiren Company as soon as possible. He must not miss this opportunity.
